A FATHER'S FIGHT TO BUILD A HOME FOR HIS DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED SON. HIS NEIGHBORS ARE NOW THREATENING TO SUE HIM. SAYING THE HOME, ISN'T WELCOMED. KOCO'S PATTI MOON IS LIVE TONIGHT, WITH A STORY YOU'LL ONLY SEE ON 5. PAUL SMITH MAKES THE HOUR AND A HALF DRIVE FROM EDMOND TO ENID SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. HIS SON...WESTON ...LIVES IN ENID AND NEEDS 24-HOUR CARE. BUT THE FACILITY HE'S CURRENTLY IN IS GOING TO CLOSE. SO PAUL SAYS HE'S NOW IN THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE...TRYING TO BUILD HIS SON A PERMANENT HOME. CLIP 701:18: My son's active. He rides 4 wheelers. He gets around. 29-YEAR-OLD WESTON SMITH HAS NEVER BEEN ONE TO SLOW DOWN. CLIP 703:48: It was a communication anger. Nobody knew how to basically diagnose him. FOR YEARS...HIS DISABILITY WAS MISUNDERSTOOD... BUT PAUL SAYS HE KNEW THAT WITH THE RIGHT STRUCTURE...HIS SON COULD THRIVE. CLIP 704:28: He knows what time we eat. He knows what time we go to bed. He knows where we're gonna go. WESTON HAS BEEN LIVING AT NORCE...THE NORTH OKLAHOMA RESOURCE CENTER OF ENID. IT'S A STATE-RUN FACILITY THAT D-H-S COMMISSIONERS VOTED TO CLOSE. CLIP 706:50: Everything that we've accomplished in the last 4 or 5 years up there, you start all over. PAUL SAYS HIS ONLY OPTION NOW IS TO MAKE HIS SON A HOME. HE BOUGHT LAND IN ENID... AND PLANNED TO BUILD A PLACE. BUT SOON RAN INTO TROUBLE WITH NEIGHBORS. CLIP 710:32: I tried to explain to them, hey look, I just turned 58 in September. You know, I'm not gonna be around here forever and he needs a place to call his own. That's what it's all about. 42 THE PLAN WAS TO HOUSE WESTON AND TWO FRIENDS FROM NORCE. BUT NEIGHBORS GOT WIND OF THAT PLAN AND FILED SUIT. SEVERAL OF THEM SAID USING THE LAND COMMERCIALLY WAS UNACCEPTABLE. THEY ASKED PAUL TO STOP CONSTRUCTION AND NOW ...THE TWO SIDES ARE STILL DISCUSSING WHAT'S NEXT. CLIP 716:07: It's my deck of cards and I gotta play em. That's all it is. You just gotta. Whatever's handed to ya, you just gotta deal with it. NOW I DID SPEAK TO THE LAWYER THAT THE NEIGHBORS HIRED. HE SENT ME THIS STATEMENT...QUOT E... "THE NEIGHBORS ARE NOT AGAINST MR. SMITH PROVIDING A RESIDENCE FOR HIS FAMILY, BUT THEY ARE OPPOSED TO A COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE ... THE PLAINTIFFS ARE HOPEFUL THIS MATTER CAN BE RESOLVED INFORMALLY AND ARE TRYING TO ARRANGE A MEETING." RL, PM, KOCO 5 NEWS. AND WE GOT AN UPDATE FROM D- H-S ABOUT RESOURCE CENTER CLOSINGS IN OUR STATE. THEY SAY THE SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA RESOURCE CENTER IS SET TO CLOSE BY APRIL OF NEXT YEAR. NORCE IS SCHEDULED TO CLOSE BY AUGUST OF 20-15. D-H-S STAFF MEMBERS SAY EVERY RESIDENT WILL BE PLACED ELSEWHERE WITH THE HELP OF A GUARDIAN. THEY ALSO SAY THOSE CLOSING DATES ARE NOT HARD DEADLINES ...SO IF THEY NEED EXTRA TIME...THEY'LL BE ABLE TO ASK FOR IT.
